Cardi B proud of hip-hop genre

Los Angeles Feb 12 (IANS) Singer Cardi B is thrilled to see music genre hip-hop "controlling the music industry".

"In America I always look at the charts. Hip-hop is always there. We are controlling the music industry. We control the fashion world. I don t give a f**k if the fashion comes from a runway or if a Caucasian woman is walking it once a coloured person wears something that s when everybody wants to wear it " she said.

The rapper believes hip-hop always influences reports femalefirst.co.uk.

The "Bodak yellow" hitmaker told i-D magazine: "We always influence. When you see the Olympics who always wins? Coloured folks. We win everything. We are a big influence and people want to take that shit away. People like Donald Trump they re always going to make us feel like we re less."

"But it s okay because a b***h like me knows the truth. It don t matter if the government and the Republicans try to make us feel like we re not cos we is. I know the truth ... We run the s**t! We influence. We run everything " she added.

Cardi B 25 opened up about being bullied in the past.

"I was getting picked on for the way I dressed. I got jumped in the sixth grade real bad and after that it changed me. It really did change me. In middle school and high school it doesn t matter how tough you are or it doesn t matter if you stand for s**t you ain t nobody if you are not in a gang " she said.

"People influence you and tell you that you should join this or you should join that. Then again it s a great experience. I wouldn t be able to rap about the things that I rap about now if I hadn t grown up there " added the rapper.
